How can I participate in the Workplace Survey?

There are two ways that you can participate in the Workplace Survey and either way is completely confidential. You can access the survey by going to the website and clicking on the link that will take you directly to the survey. The survey can be taken from any computer. You may also take a paper version of the survey. Paper surveys are available at designated locations campus-wide.

How can I be sure the survey results are confidential?

You will not be asked for your Net ID when you take the survey. Therefore, the University will have no way of tracking who took the survey. In addition, departments with less than ten employees will not receive an individual report. Their results will be rolled up to the next level. If you take the paper survey, you will be able to mail the survey in a prepaid envelope directly to Towers Perrin, the consulting firm that will tabulate the results.

How long will the survey be open?

The survey will be available from November 17 through midnight, December 7, 2008.

When will the results be communicated?

The results should be communicated during the first quarter of 2009.

How will the results be communicated?

The results will be communicated in a variety of ways. There will be Town Hall meetings to go over the University’s results. The results will also be posted on the Workplace Survey’s website. Your individual department’s results will be presented by your manager.

What will happen as a result of the Workplace Survey?

Depending on the results of the survey, the University will determine a number of initiatives to work on for the next couple of years. Action Plans will be developed and teams created to work on the initiatives. The survey results will be well publicized and many employees will have the opportunity to help make Yale the employer of choice.
